Tyres are Not Bananas!!! Michelin says that a tires aging process doesnt start from its date of its fabrication DOT. It starts once the tire is inflated and installed on the car. This is because tires undergo the most stress when theyre being used not while theyre sitting in storage.
According to Michelin three studies were conducted in Korea Germany and Saudi Arabia that showed no difference in performance between newly manufactured tires and ones that have been unused for three years. He explained "The Saudi Arabia study showed that a tire used on a vehicle for one year had equivalent aging to a tire in storage for 10 years. In terms of the characteristics of the tread rubber it took 20 years in storage at 40 degrees celsius to reach the same characteristics as the tires used at 40000km showing that tires do age more rapidly when used than when stored.” The common misconception of basing tire purchases on DOTs can be dangerous because consumers tend to fixate on it instead of maintaining their tires properly after installation. They might also choose the wrong dealers based on new stocks instead of quality service. So instead of focusing on the DOT attention should be paid to “maintaining correct tire pressure proper alignment inspection for damages and tread depth measurements.” UAE law mandates that no tyre of DOT older than 5 years can be used on a vehicle. If you drive enough each year no need to worry about the date of manufacture of the tyre. Just ensure you are purchasing your tyre from the correct source.
